Wednesday.

I have a weird throat today which could come from choir last night or could be the beginnings of another freakin' cold. WTF. Have I got any immune system left??

For the first time since last Tuesday I had a spark of excitement about our last hope cycle. We will be transferring really soon - like in December or January. I realized how soon that is when we tried to book a weekend away last night. We are basically booked up every weekend till December 18th! I am terrified that this cycle wont work, of course. And I am still exhausted from the last cycle (I think I am still depressed) but with good food, food sleep and good fun I am sure I can get my batteries recharged in no time. Dr J. mentioned that we get to look at photo's of the donors. That will freak me out!

Yesterday was a funny anniversary - we had breakfast together at 7am then saw each other at 11pm! We exchanged cards and he got me a little present. We are going to celebrate on Friday night at an old fashioned diner and then go to roller derby on Saturday. Sweet! I know I am biased but I do think I have the best DH in the world. He got me two cards. One was Happy Anniversary and he wrote a meaningful little message. The second said "You are Amazing" and he wrote a heartfelt tribute to my stamina in the past year. I mean - hello!!!! I really want to have his child, it true, but I think whatever happens, we'll be ok.

Thanks for all the lovely messages guys. It is so kind of you all to take the time and feels so good.

Your batteries sound pretty good from here! Good for you for getting out to choir and planning lots of great things in your near future! Getting back on the horse real quick can sometimes be the best medicine, no? Your anniversary celebration sounds wonderful! This year is our 8th, and I always try to give him something traditional (i.e. First is paper, Second is cotton, etc., etc.), so this year it's bronze or pottery. I bought two lovely pottery mugs and a bag of freshly ground organic coffee from our favourite local alternative coffee shop. And he gave me a beautiful bouquet of different coloured mums and says a present is on its way! Enjoy your last anniversary celebration alone! ;-)

Time passes much more quickly than we realize. Of course it's particularly true when looking backward rather than forward, but still. I'm glad you'll be getting away and doing some fun things. Recharge, woman! And I'm glad your DH was extra thoughtful!

Awww, kudos to your DH for the cards and especially the thoughtful writing. Sounds like you're going to have a great weekend! Hope you get all recharged - once things get rolling with this cycle I'm sure you'll get into the swing of it. I must say that I've been feeling like I'm slogging along an endless track sometimes, but believe it or not I do have hope the end is near! For both of us...
